Un-American?

Submitted by ub on

Is this is characteristic or proper to the USA foreign or opposed to the values, standards, goals of America?

What about blocking any person's access to tv channels being Un-American? To do this to #FLOTUS is not acceptable.

Doesn't freedom of speech also applies to freedom to listen, look or watch anything less is the action of a dictator?

Dictators do this kind of blocking to citizens. They don’t get CNN or MSNBC in China, North Korea, Cuba, Russia cable TV nor Facebook, Twitter, Google, and many alternative views.

Submitted by ub on

Do you remember the punk who would throw a rock and run away because he was too chicken to stay and face the consequences?

Members of US Congress have now reached an all-time low although the US House is scheduled to adjourn this afternoon for an unearned five-week Sumer vacation, as conservatives file articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. House Speaker Paul Ryan says he does not support a GOP move to impeach Rosenstein.

Trump Taxpayer Troubles

Submitted by ub on

Are US taxpayers ready to pay additional billions of dollars for another Trump creation? POTUS will spend $12 billion to assist farmers hurt by his tariffs.

Trouble ahead and tariffs in line as they tear into our economic behind. While POTUS tries to tamp down growing criticism of his own ineffective trade policies by blaming someone else. This time it is not Obama or the Democrats. He blames China.

PS Education

NO Not BS, but PS as in Public Service. There are activists and organizers who have been extremely effective. One individual comes to mind, but there are others and many more are urgently needed.

Some public servants perfected the craft on the streets, responding to injustices by helping people to reach their goals.
Let's create an opportunity with an eye toward training folks to solve real-world problems in hopes to spread these ideas.

The Big Apple and the Northeast corridor is home to an estimated million plus undocumented immigrants but even if some are sanctuary cities Trump’s policies have broken up families, ruined careers, and disrupted the academic potential of the fine student.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and many multiples of that have been written about an
iconic moment caught when the Group of Seven major advanced nations met last month. President
Trump’s threatened tariffs had roiled relations with most of his colleagues who came to Canada that
weekend. Leaders representing almost half of the world economy were prepared to rebut the
president’s assertion that “trade wars are good and easy to win.” However, Trump came with a fresh
solution to his trade war, completely free trade among the seven countries, zero tariffs.

The separation of powers is the system of governance of The United States of America. Under this model, the #USA government is divided into branches, each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility so that the powers of one branch are not in conflict with the powers associated with the other branches.

US Laws are written in the legislative branch, or the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of two senators from each state. Membership in the House of Representatives is determined by population. Controlled by GOP conservatives.

Slowly Reuniting Families

Submitted by ub on

While POTUS is increasingly enamored with Putin, one could ask how Trump would have reacted if these were Russian families crossing the US Border?

Only 264 of 2,500 migrant children have reportedly been reunited with their families. The Trump administration claims to have reunited just 264 of the more than 2,500 children ages 5 and older who were separated from their families at the border and following misdemeanors.

That could leave hundreds of kids in limbo, perhaps at the Health and Human Services’ detention centers, before a court-ordered deadline on July 26.
